*US Admits: Dollar Shortage Fueled Iran Economic Crisis*

In a shocking revelation, the US Treasury Secretary has acknowledged that the United States intentionally created a dollar shortage in Iran, exacerbating the country’s economic woes. This admission has sent shockwaves across the globe, raising questions about the motivations behind the US policy.

According to sources, the US Treasury Secretary stated that the economic pressure was aimed at influencing Iran’s nuclear policy and regional activities. The move has had far-reaching consequences, including soaring inflation, food shortages, and a plummeting currency.

Critics argue that the US actions constitute economic warfare, while others see it as a necessary measure to counter Iran’s alleged nuclear ambitions. The international community is now calling for an easing of sanctions to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Iran.

The US has long imposed sanctions on Iran, citing concerns over its nuclear program and support for militant groups. Iran denies these allegations, saying its nuclear activities are peaceful.

The dollar shortage has crippled Iran’s economy, making it difficult for the country to import essential goods. The US Treasury Secretary’s admission has sparked a heated debate on the ethics of using economic coercion as a tool of foreign policy.

As tensions escalate, the world watches to see how Iran will respond to this latest development. Will it lead to a thaw in relations or further escalation? Only time will tell.
